Alison Chawke Released Early on Community Work | Cork News

Alison Chawke, jailed for assault causing harm to two men, walked out of Limerick Female Prison just four weeks into her sentence — thanks to the Community Return Scheme, which lets qualifying inmates serve part of their term through supervised community work. Originally sentenced to two years and two months with 14 months suspended (on good behavior and payment of €1,000), her early release follows a brutal, unprovoked attack in the Dunraven Arms Hotel foyer where she and her brother, Bill, were intoxicated and assaulted two men — including throwing a pint glass and biting one. The judge called the violence “ferocious,” and while details of her community service remain undisclosed, her release marks a pivotal moment in a case focused on rehabilitation over incarceration.
